As promised, caramelised Party Pork Sliders with Pickled Carrot and those little No Knead Sweet Potato buns. Now, these make a party. Are you game?
If you saw my post yesterday you will already know how to make the unbelievably easy No knead Sweet Potato Buns. Watch the video and be amazed!!
There are lots of parties to be had in the next couple of weeks and these, my dear friends are such a great way to party. I actually have some of these little buns in the freezer right now, just because I made so many dozen of them when I was making sure the recipe is perfect. The thing is, they are going to be very handy because I’m going to stuff them full of something else, like say Prawns and Avocado or even melted Gruyere and Pastrami. A blessing in disguise.
So here are the little Caramelised Pork patties, that are going to serenade your taste buds. They have a touch of sugar that makes them brown and crisp up. They are altogether cute little things with a big lot of flavour. But yummy Pork isn’t all you need to make your sliders irresistible. What you need is some fast paced pickled carrot and if you love it like me lots of coriander. I have also added a few strips of fresh cucumber just to add crunch and freshness Simple. Give it a go.
PIN IT!

Recipe Notes
You can toast your little buns on one side if you like, but fresh from the oven they don't need much.
make the patties and store for up to two days in the fridge before using.
Tips for the cucumber ribbons I use the side of my grater to do this Lebanese cucumber is best. you should get almost 12 thin strips from 1 cucumber

Wow, what a tasty and simple party snack. I love the addition of the carrot pickles – I’m sure they’d be handy in lots of other ways, too.
